The Great Tractor Races

There are 2 big boys who are just having a great time digging in the dirt!!!!!! Construction has slowed down on Bob's house and they are waiting on the return of Bob and Family. So both Craig and Ed are in the fields plowing and moving as much dirt as they can daily. But the equipment doesn't always cooperate!! So far today it has been 3 flat tires, 1 broken bolt and a stop for fill in ambulance driving. Plus running all over the country to get 22 dogs and 15 cats their rabies shot only to find out that the district's refrigeration unit isn't working and they wouldn't have the vaccine for 2 more weeks!! Doesn't anyone ever call ahead???? TIA (this IS Africa)

Last Saturday, they were both on their tractors racing around the field trying to get the field done before dark. Craig was in the lead most of the time until Ed found the old pit latrine and rock pile and stopped to move rocks. Then he took over lead and they both bounced across the field, kicking up a lot of dust and rats. Eagles were swooping down and around their heads all afternoon waiting for that free meal. And they found a lot. Pray for safety and working equipment and good weather. If all that happens they may get most of the fields plowed by the end of the week!!!
